Immaculateraga exposition by Amrutha Venkatesh
The Hindu
Amrutha Venkatesh proved her expertise with her rendition and choice of kritis
A rare enthusiasm and freshness marked the online vocal concert of Amrutha Venkatesh for the 63rd Annual Art Festival of the South Indian Cultural Association, Hyderabad. She opened the concert on a confident note with ‘Amma Aanandadaayini’, the Gambhiranattai padavarnam by M. Balamuralikrishna. Her immaculate kalapramana and flair for rhythmical grammar came to the fore instantly. This padavarnam is a great example of the musician and composer’s spirit of experimentation and vast creativity.
Amrutha followed this up with Swati Tirunal’s popular Mayamalavagowla composition, ‘Deva deva kalayami’ in Rupakam, with a lengthy, melodic swaraprastara at the pallavi. L. Ramakrishnan on the violin offered an equally charming response.
